Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
Valmur lies just above Les Clos, and the William Fèvre parcel sits right atop the crest of the hill, benefitting from a cool microclimate. This 2023 has a wonderful purity to it: crystalised ginger dances across the palate. It is long, persistent, and very fine indeed. Give it a little time, and see it soar.
Recently racked so a bit cloudy. Blocks the nose. A vast raft of white fruit, very spicy, liquorice notes as well, a volume of fruit over and above the Vaudésir, I can see why it is served afterwards. Quality reduction at the back, Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted Jun 2024.
The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru comes from the top sector on the incline with a south-east facing orientation on a vein of marl. That scent of shucked oyster shell permeates the nose and puts it above Vaudésir in terms of complexity. A superb reduction. The palate is taut and fresh, more complex and certainly more saline. There's a bit of meanness on the finish, but that is not written pejoratively. For those seeking more traditional Chablis this vintage.
